Some seek a freedom from restraint yet need only to stop restraining themselves.
Some seek to become that of greater good yet confuse that which is good from bad and bad from good.

In these pages Raphael gives just a simple introduction to the Teaching of Plato, sending the seeker back to direct meditation on the texts.
According to Giovanni Reale, so much has been written and continues to be written about Plato - and in all the main languages - that it is now quite impossible to master all these writings. It is therefore understandable why a number of scholars have for some time been postulating the need to cut back on all...
